Why did you pre-purchase Path of Fire?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ozmaniandevil.6805

ozmaniandevil.6805

I have to be honest in that I hate HoT. I don’t like jumping and I hate the levels, and it’s near impossible to play alone, which is what I enjoy doing. I held off on pre-purchasing PoF until the free trial weekend. I loved the dessert, and the mount (which I had never even thought about before), and it seems so far that I can get places there. Of course it will take time to learn everything, but I believe I will enjoy the new maps WAY more than the HoT maps. I still love the game overall. It’s my go-to for entertainment.

A plea from all Necromancers.

ozmaniandevil.6805

I have severe arachnophobia… many of the pictures here made me feel physical responses of fear. I also use a necro. I would be ok with a spider mount as long as it isn’t too realistic. Unrealistic spiders don’t bother me, personally. However, I do think some people with this issue may not be able to play if they had to look at spiders all the time. So, I’m actually against this for that reason.

I agree they should keep up to you. What’s the point of having the mini if it’s always 20 yards away from you?

Silly hats. Do you want them?

Posted by: ozmaniandevil.6805

ozmaniandevil.6805

I personally don’t like the hats at all but it seems like there’s a market for them. If others like them, so be it!

I think the reason I don’t like them is that I never have a helm showing, because I have usually used a makeover or hair kit so want to show my toons’ faces and hair.

Prized Possessions issue

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: ozmaniandevil.6805

ozmaniandevil.6805

Thanks. I had to do a lot of reading but it finally worked to start with skill 2 then glide then skill 2 again. It’s counter-intuitive since Ruka asks you if you can glide, but ANet isn’t really known for making anything intuitive.

Prized Possessions issue

ozmaniandevil.6805

I’m trying to complete Prized Possessions. While following Ruka, there’s a point where you have to glide (after getting past the exploding mushrooms). I die EVERY SINGLE TIME at this point. It doesn’t matter where I jump from or to. I glide, then skill 2 kicks in automatically, then I hit the lower rocks and die. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. I’ve tried this SO MANY TIMES. What is going on? I’ve tried re-engaging skill 2. I’ve tried using skill 3. I’ve tried everything I can think of. Nothing works. Is this a bug????

I ran around naked for some time because I didn’t know that your armor got “broken”. I had no idea why I was naked.

Honestly though I’d never played an MMO or any video game other than the Sims so I had no idea what I was doing at all. I don’t think I discovered the trading post for at least a few months. I didn’t even know what the “scary” portals were between maps. I stayed in Queensdale for a very, very, very long time LOL

I hate HOT but want to enjoy it

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: ozmaniandevil.6805

ozmaniandevil.6805

I have to say, I was excited about HOT. But, the experience has been dismal. I still haven’t even completed one map. There is at least one map I haven’t even made it to yet. I keep going around in circles. I can’t find one spot I need to get to even in the personal story, so my progress has halted on that. I’m so incredibly lost in HoT maps, and then I just get swarmed and killed. I literally HATE the expansion. I play for maybe 20 minutes then just give up and go map the old maps for the 20th time.

I completely admit I haven’t had a lot of time to play over the last many months, but still, when I do play, it isn’t going to be on the new maps where all I get is frustrated.

Yellow Creature Farm

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: ozmaniandevil.6805

ozmaniandevil.6805

Killing yellow mobs is a GREAT way to gain lots of XP if you’re leveling. I pop some good extra XP food and one of my many XP boosters and go exploring and kill lots of yellow mobs. Around Mt Mealstrom last night I was killing yellows that gave 2500 XP each. I can gain a level in about 10-15 mins just by doing that. Don’t knock it til you try it!

As to the OP, they are everywhere, but I find the mid-higher level maps give the best XP; probably because higher level players are almost completely single-minded to ignore everything except champs. You don’t have to ignore red mobs but for sure, the most out of the way yellow mobs will be your best bet.

Is legendary armor coming out

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ozmaniandevil.6805

ozmaniandevil.6805

I don’t understand. It’s not a gear treadmill. Legendary armor will have the same stats as ascended. The only difference being, as with weapons, that you can change stats on the legendary armor. This is not going to be any BETTER than the gear we have now. Just a different look. However, you may save some gold by making legendary over ascended so you never have to change your gear. That’s not a treadmill. Stop the hyperbole!!

No daily log in rewards, no access to guild banks, and restricted TP sell and buy. Tons of restrictions on those free accounts. I’m pretty sure ANet is just doing this to entice people to purchase. I don’t see that gold sellers could possibly profit from this.

Under Seige broken

ozmaniandevil.6805

I tried this again and this time got it to work. There are two risen mobs far to the right of the path. So far off that they weren’t engaged by Efut and the party. However, once I ran over and killed them, the two risen on the path were no longer invulnerable.

There are other areas of the story where some mobs are way out of the way and don’t engage. Maybe ANet should have a look at the story steps and attempt to get the mobs in the correct areas, especially since they hold up the entire thing.

Posted by: ozmaniandevil.6805

ozmaniandevil.6805

I am trying to complete the story step “Under Seige” but I can’t because mobs are invulnerable. As I follow Efut to the keep, about halfway up the path, we engage two risen mobs. They cannot be killed because they are both totally invulnerable. So the story does not progress. Please fix. I am using my character Rhage The Berserker, an Asuran. I found this step bugged on a different toon a long time ago with the same problem, although it had been a different mob at the keep.

I agree with the OP, which is why I did not BUY the dress. I think it looks fantastic on all other races, but since 99% of my toons are human female, it’s simply not worth 1000 gems to me, so I just won’t buy it.

Yes well, I knew this kind of post would pop up as soon as a guildie told me they got the electro blue. You can’t please everyone. When the dyes first came out I sold one for around 30g. Now worth around 500g. Should I cry? No. I had use of the 30g which I obviously wanted at the time. It was my lack of patience that caused me to “lose” a probable investment gain. Live and learn. Or be reconciled to the choices you make. But don’t cry afterward. Thank you.

Wedding Dress on humans - How Garters Work

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ozmaniandevil.6805

ozmaniandevil.6805

Can we not talk about how the human female wedding dress makes it look like it’s a shotgun wedding? She looks preggers. It doesn’t look that way on any other female race. So disappointed. And the garter is fine. Every wedding I’ve been to, the garter is used as to throw out to the single guys. Not used to hold up stockings at all. No, not the original intent of a garter, but definitely used for wedding dresses in this manner.

Alienware Laptop Issues

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: ozmaniandevil.6805

ozmaniandevil.6805

Hey all, I have an Alienware M14X R2 laptop. I’ve been having issues for several months now. First, is that the computer freezes one time after startup, for maybe 20-30 seconds. This will happen no matter what I’m doing (in GW2, on internet, whatever). Timing of the freeze is random but it often happens very shortly after starting up the computer. I had heard a while ago that perhaps my mouse could be the issue. I did find I had a sticky mouse button and replaced my mouse, but computer is still freezing.

Second issue are lots of DCs while playing GW2. I have a tower computer (not AW) running off of a wireless extender and I never get DC’d when using it. I get DCs on my laptop all the time. Does anyone know of specific AW issues with GW2? Anyone else have this issue? Any advice would be helpful before I throw my laptop through a window… or take it in to the repair shop Actually, I had it in for repair for the freezing issue some time ago but they couldn’t figure it out. The DC issue is “new”.

ETA: Please refrain from commenting in this thread if you’re just here to bash Alienware. If you don’t like the brand, that doesn’t matter to me. I’m asking for assistance, not brand opinions.

gg lost 2k gold with this update

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ozmaniandevil.6805

ozmaniandevil.6805

You haven’t lost anything. To be honest, you have the skins. If you wait another year or two they’ll once again be worth what you paid. It’s all timing. You can only lose if you paid gold and got nothing. But that’s not what happened.

If you bought the skin to speculate, well, sometimes you speculate on the wrong thing. Your fault, no one else’s. If you bought the skin cause you wanted it, and you managed to save up 1000g to get it, you obviously really wanted it, and you got what you wanted. No one can say when or if any skin will be re-released. We all take that chance. If you didn’t want to pay 1000g for it, you would not have done so.

And before you think I have no empathy, I bought a precursor two days before the announcement of the new way to make precursors. I lost some gold selling it back on the TP. That’s the way it goes. I also could have kept it, and lo and behold, it ended up going over the price I paid for it. So again, I panicked, and I lost the money.

Patience is KEY to investing in anything. Learn from the loss and move on.

In terms of revenues, we probably don’t “exist” to any extent worth worrying about in the eyes of big business. Consider in our entire country there are as many people as in the STATE of California. Sad but true. We often get shafted because we are just too small on the economic scale.

I’m in Canada and I purchased from the gw2 official site. I think you’d be hard pressed to find any deals right now considering that our dollar has taken a nose dive recently. That combined with the fact that ANet usually won’t help you out if you bought from a 3rd party, should there be any problems, and it was obvious for me that buying direct from ANet was the best way to get HoT.

Lock out mystic forge and looting during BETA

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ozmaniandevil.6805

ozmaniandevil.6805

It’s not a punch in the gut. The beta characters come with free exotics. Tons of them. An infinite number. People are using free exotics to get precursors.

Why is anyone in the beta test using the forge in the first place? You will not be allowed to keep your loot, because you’re stuff isn’t being stored to a server. It’s a copy of your bank, not your actual bank, when you log in on a beta slot.

Agree 100%. People with beta access know they can’t keep what they got on the beta character. If you go ahead and use your FREE exotics in the forge that’s your own fault. I won’t be doing that with mine!

Understanding Crit Chance and Damage etc

in Mesmer

Posted by: ozmaniandevil.6805

ozmaniandevil.6805

Hi all,

I had a level 80 mesmer a long time ago but deleted her as I never played the class enough. I concentrated on necro, ranger and warrior, but started getting bored with all of them as of late. Now with the new trait system I’ve recently leveled a new mes to 50 and I’m loving it. However, I’m trying to plan a build for 80 and I’m just not good at figuring out what my overall stats should be or in particular critical chance and critical damage. So I go to gw2skills.net and pick what I like, but I have no idea if my crit chance is high enough, etc. Can anyone help explain it? This is for PvE and eventually WvW roaming. I would like to finish up map completion and get to 80 and play around with all the weapons before I go to WvW, since I’m not a PvPer. Right now I’m using scepter/pistol and staff with a mix of skills. I like using shatter quite a lot as well.

TL;DR: What % of stats should I go for, in particular for crit chance and crit damage. Seems like 150% crit damage is base?

My issue is that levelling takes too long if you DON’T do the hearts. If you try to organically level without them you’ll be “outlevelled” and will get one shotted by mobs. And yes, hearts are so so so BORING and take too long. At least increase the XP for them so each takes a couple mins rather than 10 minutes. Don’t force people to power level due to sheer boredom!!
